Ten years ago Paris based artist Simon Frankart sold his first piece as Petites Luxures halfway across the world in a group show in Los Angeles. A decade later, after dozens of successful shows around the world including Rome, New York, San Francisco, Paris and amassing more than a million Instagram followers Simon will be having his first solo show where it all started: Los Angeles. Hosted by UHF Gallery, the show will feature more than 30 new pieces of work including drawings, cut outs, sculptures and handmade custom made guitars.
Petites Luxures is an erotic-poetic and minimalist drawing project which seeks to find an elegant and light way to show intimacy and sensuality. Besides successful exhibitions around the globe, the art has been published in magazines such as Vanity Fair, Playboy USA and has been used in collaboration with fashion brands such as Olympia le Tan. Petite Luxures has also been the subject of five books published by Hoëbeke-Gallimard and Gründ in France and translated in 5 languages. Based in Paris, Simon continues to explore new ways to bring his "Petites Luxures" to life for future exhibitions, collaborations with brands and designers, and upcoming books.
